Chinese company to provide solar panels

Firm adapting products to counter aggravating climate change

LAHORE:

With the advent of summer, many areas in Pakistan suffered prolonged power outages, driving up people’s demand for solar panels on roof.

“Keeping in mind the future needs, we will focus on the distributed solar power in Pakistan by providing more solar panels on roof for residents as well as industrial and commercial buildings,” said Li Xiaopeng, Regional Sales Manager Longi Solar, in an interview with the China Economic Net (CEN).

The Chinese solar giant, which has rolled out the first one-stop solar solution in its home country, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the largest bank in Pakistan, HBL, to provide financial support to potential solar panel users.

Responding to the recent floods in Pakistan, Li said the company is planning to provide assistance to locals through free distribution of clean drinking water and solar systems.

In case of more extreme weather conditions, the company is adapting its products to the aggravating climate change, by customising the operation and maintenance of solar devices under high temperature, which haunted Pakistan this summer. Following the prediction and alert of extreme weather conditions, there will be methods in place to protect the solar devices when flood hits.
